Regular Expressions problem

[mohammedelbes]

Hi

can anybody help me write a regular expresion for a string like this

"X,Y,Z,A,B,C,Time"

X,Y,Z,A,B,C is a 3 digits number

Time is a double value with anynumber of digits with two decimal places.

Thank you very much

Well, where's your attempt at it? See the API docs for Pattern for the symbols available and google for a regex tutorial (does not need to be a Java regex tutorial, simply regex). After you post your attempt we will help you correct it. I would, however, suggest simply using the split method of String.

here's something for you to start with (this can be further simplified, but let's not make it too complicated first)

"\d{3},\d{3},\d{3},\d{3},\d{3},\d{3},\d+\.\."

Note:, you still have to escape what is necessary for it to work.

Well, the last part definately won't work.

yes, it won't work ( cos it for OP to find out :) )

The entire thing should have been "for OP to find out", or to at least attempt.

Nah, I prefer to give examples where appropriate and let them find out for themselves.

IOW "do it for me" facilitator.
